Ingredients

Whether you’re looking for brunch inspiration or breakfast for dinner, Biscuits and Gravy is always the right answer. Anytime anything starts with a pound of sausage, you know it’s going to be good.

• Breakfast Sausage – This is going to add all of the spice and richness to the dish. Pick your favorite variety. Like things spicy? Go with a spicy sausage. Feeling herbaceous, use your favorite sage sausage. For gravy on the sweeter side maple sausage is a fun addition. You can also use a combination.
• Onion – Adds depth and savory flavor.
• Worcestershire Sauce – This adds instant umami as well as salt.
• Cayenne – A little dash will give a mild back note of spice without overpowering the entire dish.
• Paprika – Gives a slightly smoky note that compliments the meaty sausage.
• Kosher Salt – Enhances all of the flavors of the ingredients. Because sausage has its own salt it doesn’t take much.
• Black Pepper – Gives mild, earthy spice.
• Garlic Powder – Adds that bright, pungent pop of garlic without overpowering entire dish.
• Dairy Free Heavy Cream – Adds richness and creaminess to this decadent sausage gravy recipe.
• Water – Thins out the gravy so it can cook down and allow the flavors to concentrate.

Ingredients for the Biscuits

• Gluten Free Flour – Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour is my go-to flour for both sweet and savory dishes. When it comes to turning recipes that aren’t originally gluten free into Gluten Free versions, there isn’t any need for additional ingredients. It measures the same as traditional flour.
• Dairy Free Butter – This gives the biscuits their flaky and buttery texture and flavor. it’s also used for the honey butter glaze.
• Kosher Salt – Enhances all of the flavors of the ingredients.
• Sugar – Adds just a hint of sweetness to these buttery biscuits.
• Baking Soda – Helps the biscuits rise as they bake.
• Baking Powder – Helps the biscuits rise as they bake.
• Dairy Free Buttermilk – Oat milk is combined with vinegar to create dairy free buttermilk. Gives these biscuits a slight tang.

How to Make The Sausage Gravy

This is a perfect way to make breakfast special without a lot of time. If you have leftover biscuits, it will go even faster.

How To Make The Biscuits

1. Pregame: Stick your Dairy Free butter in the freezer to get it nice and cold. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Brush a cast iron pan or 7×10 baking dish with melted butter and set it aside.
2. Grate: Use a cheese grater to grate your cold butter. Keep it cold until ready to mix into your dry ingredients.
3. Mix: Mix together all of your dry ingredients until well incorporated. Add your grated butter and Dairy Free buttermilk and mix until just combined. You want to make sure your butter remains cold, and you don’t over mix your dough. You want it to just come together.
4. Roll: Place your dough onto a lightly floured work area. Roll your dough out until it is 1/2″ to 3/4″ inch thick.
5. Cut: Use a biscuit cutter that is 3″ to cut out eight biscuits.
6. Bake: Place the biscuits in the buttered baking dish or cast-iron pan. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
